I'm not sure if they're gonna be doing any more frames tbh, get the feeling they're winding down a bit now.

It's a good concept though I think, having the option of using either size rear wheel.

There is a new CAD drawing on their facebook page

It might suggest they are doing something new

Interesting, looks a bit short though, eh?

๐Ÿ˜‰

I notice there are a few protos on their FB too, I bet they'll go straight 650b if they do get another batch of frames made.

There looks to be lots of prototypes but it's not clear what they are up to. Would be nice to see an updated 29er pushing their capabilities instead of a fairly standard 650b

[quote=chakaping ]Oh well that was an anticlimax - the shock doesn't physically fit - eye-to-eye is too long.

Just for anyone else that is interested, I also tried this and......

can also confirm the 200x57 doesn't physically fit even with offset shock bushings.

Ah well, will just need to MTFU etc ๐Ÿ˜ณ

It did fit for me with a bit of persuasion. Didn't really like it though.

Did you try the 650b rear? That was great. Lower BB and slacker angles made it much more aggressive.

Not yet, but it is still on the agenda.

I'm going to run the stock 190x50 with the offset bushings first and see what the verdict is, first impressions seem good.

I had a -1deg slackset in mine from the outset, then went for the smaller rear wheel too.

I can imagine a slackset and offset bushes could be good.

Only realised the BB height had been an issue once I'd lowered it significantly.
